Either side may not even be aware that on the other side, someone is engaging in an activity that warrants blocking, because an unbridged account can engage in whatever - including replies, boosts etc without becoming visible to the OP.
@tchambers @jdp23
@osma @jdp23 Using the example from the POV of an AP user. If someone in ATprot land is doing bad shit that warrants blocking, but is unbridged and so that AP user never sees it, what is the problem? And once that harmful ATProot user DOES bridge, the AP user has all the agency in the world to moderate it.
Harassment is a problem even if the person being targeted doesn't directly see it. This is why we have blocking in addition to muting!
@jdp23 @tchambers @osma Agreed wrt just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not happening. This is a missing piece in Bridgy Fed (hidden interaction) that we've been discussing - will have more to share soon.
